The Trouble with This Year's Flu Season
As a retired teacher I know all too well that schools are germ factories. Teachers are exposed to lots of germs throughout their careers and people don't appreciate that teachers wind up getting sick far more often than people in other professions. No matter what is done to decrease the spread of germs, there is no way to prevent germs being passed around when lots of kids gather in mass, especially during flu season. HOWEVER, whatever can be done, should be done and a flu shot is not a bad idea.
